Columnist Tony Fraser has an insightful piece on the PM's attempt to acquire a jet through Caribbean Airlines, titled 'Our culture of acquiescence' in Wednesday's Guardian (http://guardian.co.tt/Tonyfraser.html).

In paragraph 8 he says: "The list of other leaders who have clothed themselves in red velvet while their societies struggled is a long one. The psychosis is about the acquisition and arbitrary use of power to serve inner desires."
